Unexpected end of expression ng-keypress event in angularjs

Question

I am using ng-keypress directive to check ENTER key pressed or not.

...
...
<input type="text" ng-model="mymodal"
    ng-keypress="($event.charCode==13)?myFunction():return"/>

...
...

But when I open page in chrome, it gives error

Error: [$parse:ueoe] Unexpected end of expression: ($event

<input type="text" ng-model="mymodal" ng-keypress="($event.charCode==13)?myFunction():return" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid">

If I remove ng-keypress or put ""(Empty string) in expression, its working fine.

If you only want to trigger your function on the proviso that the Enter key was pressed, simply use the following

ng-keypress="$event.charCode === 13 && myFunction()"

it works, but I have to call method and also assign variable in `ng-keypress` event its like this `ng-keypress="myfunction($event, text); ($event.which === 13)?text='':0"` how to convert it in your syntaxt? – Nilesh Jul 06 '15 at 05:58
